Yep, hoods and trunks, because that's what they are! Bonnets, boots? Shifters?! Sheesh.

LOL

You've never heard them called cokes because you're not in the US haha. I don't do that because it's ridiculous to me, but its' pretty common here. Either calling everything a Coke, or calling it a Pop. To me it's either a soda or Dr. Pepper or whatever brand it is. I always kid people here that call them cokes or pops.
